Si bien este dispositivo cumple la función para la que ha sido previsto, en la práctica se ha podido comprobar que presenta una serie de problemas entre los que cabe citar los siguientes: Se trata de un dispositivo limitado funcionalmente, ya que solo permite llevar a cabo la medición de los niveles de glucosa en sudor, de manera que si bien es cierto que cambiando la enzima contenida en el depósito se pueden medir otros parámetros, el dispositivo en ningún caso permite medir mas de un parámetro médico. Although this device fulfills the function for which it has been provided, in practice it has been found that it presents a series of problems, including the following: It is a functionally limited device, since it only allows carrying out the measurement of sweat glucose levels, so that while it is true that by changing the enzyme contained in the reservoir other parameters can be measured, the device in no case can measure more than one medical parameter.

DESCRIPCiÓN DE LA INVENCiÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El sistema que se preconiza, resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta en todos y cada uno de los aspectos anteriormente comentados, The system that is recommended, solves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed in each and every one of the aspects previously mentioned,

permitiendo unas mediciones mucho más precisas, más rápidas, con un mínimo consumo eléctrico y todo ello en un dispositivo con unas dimensiones mínimas y que puede permitir la medición de varios parámetros médicos en un único equipo de forma simultánea. allowing much more precise, faster measurements, with a minimum electrical consumption and all this in a device with minimum dimensions and that can allow the measurement of several medical parameters in a single device simultaneously.

Para ello, en el sistema de la invención participa un módulo que está previsto preferente y fundamentalmente para su aplicación en una pulsera, brazalete o elemento similar que pueda entrar en contacto con la piel del usuario. To this end, a module that preferentially and fundamentally for application in a bracelet, bracelet or similar element that can come into contact with the user's skin participates in the system of the invention.

Dicho módulo, presenta una estructura multi-capa, basado en la tecnología MEMS, en el que las capas están constituidas con uno o varios niveles de grafeno según el estrato de capa que corresponda. This module has a multi-layer structure, based on MEMS technology, in which the layers are constituted with one or several graphene levels according to the corresponding layer layer.

Así pues, se definen una pluralidad de capas a modo de electrodos de reacción que se intercalan con capas o electrodos de medición. Thus, a plurality of layers are defined as reaction electrodes that are interspersed with layers or measurement electrodes.

De forma más concreta, la capa inferior, del tipo de las que constituyen los electrodos de reacción, está destinada a entrar en contacto con la piel del usuario, y se obtiene a base de grafeno, en la que se embeben una o varias enzimas convenientemente distribuidas en distintos sectores de su superficie de contacto con la piel, en función de si se ha previsto que el sistema permita medir uno o más parámetros médicos, como por ejemplo los niveles de glucosa, la bilirrubina, los electrolitos, el lactato, citocinas, fenilcetonuria, o cualquier otro parámetro que se pueda analizar a partir del sudor del paciente, esta capa es la que mayor grosor presenta de todo el conjunto. More specifically, the lower layer, of the type that constitutes the reaction electrodes, is intended to come into contact with the user's skin, and is obtained based on graphene, in which one or more enzymes are conveniently embedded distributed in different sectors of its skin contact surface, depending on whether the system is expected to measure one or more medical parameters, such as glucose levels, bilirubin, electrolytes, lactate, cytokines, phenylketonuria, or any other parameter that can be analyzed from the patient's sweat, this layer is the one with the greatest thickness of the whole set.

Por su parte, las capas o electrodos de medición, igualmente a base de grafeno, y conectadas al correspondiente microprocesador, incluyen nanopartículas de diferentes metales nobles depositadas sobre las mismas como pueden ser oro, platino, plata o paladio. On the other hand, the measuring layers or electrodes, also based on graphene, and connected to the corresponding microprocessor, include nanoparticles of different noble metals deposited on them such as gold, platinum, silver or palladium.

Estas capas funcionan como electrodos para realizar las mediciones de las diferentes reacciones químicas producidas al juntarse el sudor u otros fluidos con el sensor. These layers function as electrodes to measure the different chemical reactions produced by the sweat or other fluids coming together with the sensor.

Superiormente a esta conjugación de capas o electrodos de reacción y medición , se dispone una capa a base de un sustrato de nanotubos de celulosa para crear una succión del sudor u otro fluido por dentro del sensor y hacer más perfecta y con menos errores la medición de In addition to this conjugation of reaction or measurement layers or electrodes, a layer based on a substrate of cellulose nanotubes is arranged to create a suction of sweat or other fluid inside the sensor and make the measurement of more perfect and with less errors

la reacción , así como evacuar el exceso de líquidos sobrantes de la medición y poder tener a punto el sensor para una nueva medida. the reaction, as well as evacuate the excess liquid left over from the measurement and have the sensor ready for a new measurement.

Sobre dicha capa, es decir definiendo la capa superior del conjunto se establece un elemento calefactor, tal como una micro rejilla, la cual es calefactable eléctricamente mediante micropulsos, en la medida necesaria para poder evacuar el exceso de líquidos de la capa de celulosa para evitar que se sature y detenga la capacidad de trabajo del sensor. On said layer, that is to say defining the upper layer of the assembly a heating element is established, such as a micro grid, which is electrically heated by micropulses, to the extent necessary to be able to evacuate the excess liquids from the cellulose layer to avoid that saturates and stops the working capacity of the sensor.

Finalmente, el conjunto descrito quedará protegido perimetralmente por una envolvente de caucho o similar. Finally, the described assembly will be protected perimeter by a rubber envelope or the like.

Para proceder a una medición, se actúa sobre el elemento calefactor, generando una serie de micropulsos, en orden a evacuar el exceso de líquidos de la capa de celulosa, lo que provoca a su vez y de forma paralela la sudoración por parte del usuario de la zona en contacto con el sistema, de manera que, en las capas de grafeno se definen una serie de capilares que permiten conducir el sudor en sentido ascendente atravesando las distintas capas que participan en el dispositivo, ascensión que se ve favorecida por los nanotubos de la capa de celulosa superior. To proceed with a measurement, the heating element is actuated, generating a series of micropulses, in order to evacuate the excess liquids from the cellulose layer, which in turn causes the user to sweat at the same time. the area in contact with the system, so that, in the graphene layers, a series of capillaries are defined that allow sweat to be directed upwards through the different layers that participate in the device, an ascension that is favored by the nanotubes of the top cellulose layer.

De esta manera, el sudor entra en contacto con las enzimas contenidas en las capas de reacción, reaccionando con éstas de modo que los electrodos de medición puedan realizar las medidas oportunas para ser analizadas a través del correspondiente microprocesador. In this way, sweat comes into contact with the enzymes contained in the reaction layers, reacting with them so that the measuring electrodes can make the appropriate measurements to be analyzed through the corresponding microprocessor.

El microprocesador almacenará en la correspondiente memoria los datos obtenidos, pudiéndose transmitir esta información a partir de diferentes medios para el envío de los datos obtenidos a otros sistemas, de forma inalámbrica, ya sea GPRS, Wifi, Bluetooth o similar, asociados a la pulsera o brazalete que soporta el módulo del sensor, si bien ésta realización mas compleja es opcional. The microprocessor will store the data obtained in the corresponding memory, being able to transmit this information from different means for sending the data obtained to other systems, wirelessly, whether GPRS, Wifi, Bluetooth or similar, associated with the bracelet or bracelet that supports the sensor module, although this more complex embodiment is optional.

En cualquier caso, existirá una validación por separado para asegurar que la medida sea lo más aproximada posible a la realidad, descartando por la misma la tolerancias de error debidas a los componentes que incluye el circuito microprocesador que realiza las mediciones. In any case, there will be a separate validation to ensure that the measurement is as close as possible to reality, discarding the error tolerances due to the components included in the microprocessor circuit that makes the measurements.

El dispositivo podrá tener un carácter modular, es decir ser extraíble de la pulsera, brazalete The device may have a modular character, that is, be removable from the bracelet, bracelet

o elemento de que se trate, para su sustitución, cuando el propio microcontrolador detecte que las mediciones no son correctas. or element in question, for replacement, when the microcontroller itself detects that the measurements are not correct.

5 Por su parte, el grafeno al ser un material monoatómico puede utilizarse para construir capas ultra delgadas y tener así un sensor mucho mas reducido que el citado en el apartado de "Antecedentes de la invención". 5 For its part, graphene, being a monoatomic material, can be used to construct ultra-thin layers and thus have a much smaller sensor than the one mentioned in the "Background of the invention" section.

La especial y novedosa estructuración del sistema hace que las mediciones puedan llevarse lOa cabo de forma mucho mas rápida y con un mínimo consumo, al no precisar de microbombas. The special and novel structuring of the system means that measurements can be carried out much faster and with minimal consumption, as no micropumps are required.
